What is happening on and off the course in Liverpool?

Mail Sport's Dominic King has all the insight from Aintree, including how a very famous face in racing almost missed out on celebrating victory

Ed's quick tour of the National course

Ed Chamberlin joined Mail Sport's Racing Correspondent Dominic King for a walk of the course earlier this week, take a look...

Still trying to work out which horse to back?

Don't fret. Mail Sport columnist Ed Chamberlin is on hand to help. He's cracked the Grand National code after studying for months!

Dan Skelton claimed the first race of the day

Charlie Todd guided Gwennie May Boy to victory in the opener on Grand National Saturday.

Two races down, two more to go before the one we're all waiting for

Here's how Brighterdaysahead claimed victory

Pretty comfortable, that's how to do it. I'm not sure the National will be quite as clear cut as that...

Elliott in the winners' enclosure... already

Mail Sport's Racing Correspondent Dominic King at Aintree:

Gordon Elliott will be mobhanded in the Grand National later on but, for now, he is absolutely overjoyed - and for good reason.

Brighterdaysahead has flown home in the Mersey Novices Hurdle, delivering the Grade One triumph he anticipated would come at Cheltenham last month.

She was surprisingly beaten in the Mares Novices Hurdle but she's back on track now. And what makes her so good, Gordon?

Just look at her. She's gorgeous. She's absolutely gorgeous.

In the thick of the action

Corach Rambler is priced at 8-1

Last year's winner was third to Galopin Des Champs in the Cheltenham Gold Cup just a month ago. That's pretty good preparation for the big one today...

Feeling confident?

Trainer Lucinda Russell tells Mail Sport:

Literally we have got the work diary from last year and have been cribbing from it so he has done exactly the same. The only thing that has been different is that the gallops have been a bit deeper because of all the rain.

Red Rum, Tiger Roll, Corach Rambler?

Will Corach Rambler emulate Red Rum and Tiger Roll by becoming the third horse to win back-to-back Grand Nationals?

Gordon Elliott's hero is back at Aintree today... and he seemed to like it!

Thousands descend on Aintree

It's not too late to try and find the winner

Mail Sport is here to help. Our expert has been through all the runners and riders ahead of the big race. Note that the field is now 32 not 34 runners as Chambard and Run Wild Fred are non-runners.

The wait is almost over
